giving you a random chance to get better abilities is still "pay to win."
since you have the option to keep resetting while others with no gold coins don't
its like saying hey if you pay we will give you a 5% chance to automatically win the game
but since its such a low % it doesn't matter?
while others that don't have the money to do this, never had this option.

you can try to justify this as many time as you like, it is still pay to win.

Pay money, and you have a better chance to win the game. That is the definition of pay to win.

But you aren't guaranteed to get better skills. If you paid and were allowed to pick which skills you wanted, THAT would be pay to win. You could reroll a worse set of skills. At one point while testing in RCT, I got garbage abilities so I figured I'd just reroll better ones...I think it took me about 10 tries before I got skills that were less bad than the original ones (still not worth spending 300 coins on though).

If someone is willing to throw gold at rift wars in order to maybe potentially (but probably not) get better abilities than they have (only to lose them a few minutes later), that's on them.

I understand that it is based on chance. But giving someone with money a chance over someone who doesn't have that same chance is pay to win. It is an advantage, regardless of what abilities you actually get. Maybe "pay to win" is the wrong terminology, but it's "pay for advantage" at the very least.

I don't think anyone ever will use it more than once as it is crazy expensive and even if some really rich guy does I still couldn't care less that in an absolutely not recorded game somone spends 600 gold coin to get a good skill set. He can still focused down easily and while he spends 3 minutes in the well rerolling the other team can get easy kills or towers. If someone is stupid enough to sacrifice money for 1 life only it's fine by me. In the end the team with better coordination gonna win anyway not the one with one OP hero (and just think about how many rerolls you need to get THAT certain set from 90 abilites and 30 ultimates..). If this really worries someone or even stops them from playing riftwars then I guess it's better for everyone.

okay make it Free and lets all sit 10 minutes in the fountain and roll us ability's. ofc it has to cost some gold, be happy. if you want to pay 100000 gold to win a Rift-Wars game, go ahead, fine for me LOL

You misunderstand. It's a matter of principle. There shouldn't be ANY WAY AT ALL for a player to have an advantage other players by paying real money.

They could easily make it cost gold. I would be fine with that. That would give everyone a fair chance. However, it costs real money to be able to re-roll your abilities. That is an unfair advantage and makes the game much less fun.

at least in Plinko you can actually win something that lasts, a "not-bad" skillset which lasts average of 5min is nothing.

Also, how do you know that the other guy spent $$ instead of being lucky? no mode is balanced, some guy have better luck and some have better skills. Chances are you will waste your "good roll" very quickly. A good skillset doesnt guarantee a win since you lose it when you die
